I wish I never got the surgery..

It's been 3 years since I had my first breast aug. The reason why I decided to do the surgery was that I hated the shape of my girls. I hated how large my aerola was..
Since the first surgery I've had 2 corrective surgeries to revise the bottoming-out. Unfortunately, both surgeries failed and I'm back to square one.
This experience has been a nightmare for me. In the past 3 years I've had 3 surgeries where I'm still left with an unpleasant breast shape. Each surgery I've had to take off anywhere between 7-14 days off from work, no pay. As well as taking a 6 week break from any excercise, followed by no upper body excercise for another 3 months. My weight has fluctuated constantly since I heavily rely on working out to stay in shape. I've also been stuck wearing a wired bra 24/7 for the first 6 months after each surgery, then a sports bra at night. I think in the past 3 years I've slept without a bra 7 times. It is extremely uncomfortable as I can feel my implant moving around in the pocket, especially when I sleep on my side or tummy. The pain is like a tearing/stretching sensation internally around the suture area. It's awful.
My fiance has to be careful when touching them as they always hurt when moved around.
My clothes don't fit me properly. I have no cleavage unless I wear a pushup bra and if that's the case, I feel unproportional :( It hurts to bend over and I have a pretty ugly ripple effect. I can't pull off bra-less outfits because my breasts are not in the right spot on my chest. Overall I'm so unhappy and I feel helpless..
My fiance and I are getting married in 1 yr. I can't afford to take any time from work, or from excercise. Plus I don't feel my breasts are fixable at this point. Although my surgeon did the 2 revision surgeries for free and showed great support, I've somehow lost hope.
My fiance and I plan on trying for kids next year after our marriage. I'm thinking to just remove them at that time to heal. I might revisit another augmentation but with a much smaller implant. I just hope I wouldn't need a lift at that point. My heart would break

Third's a charm?

Just had my third surgery 5 days ago... My 2nd revision. The initial revision failed after 6 weeks. My surgeon suggested to do another revision but with very strong permanent sutures and used my old capsule to create a sling. This was probably my hardest recovery. I'll be doing everything in my power to help with the success of this surgery.. it's been a hard 2 years and I feel that having flawed boobies gets me down. It will be nice if things would just get better.

Wearing a bra 24/7 and taking it easy. Wish me luck.

2.5 weeks since the revision

3.5 weeks until I'm fully recovered. Already loving the results.
My PS has me wearing a wired bra 24/7. Can't lie on my side or stomach and also can't do much at the gym except stationary cycling. I seriously miss the gym but I need to let my body heal!
I'm using these silicone bandages to help with the scars. They also help my breast feel more comfortable when wearing the bra.
Excited to see the final results!!
